Mountain clubs and mountain troops, rescue teams, education of guides, etc. always include in their winter courses the production of igloos.
Now it´s not necessary any more to be part of any of these groups to find out what they do with hard snow in our mountains and it´s the best way to improvise a bivouac in the snow.
